After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 55. A brilliant move? An unreasonable move?

"Wang Yun, we've met before, at the Hebei-Tianjin friendly match."

Looking at Zhan Lang who turned to look at him, Wang Yun, who had just spoken behind him, introduced himself.

"Hello."

Zhan Lang looked at Wang Yun who introduced himself. That friendly match was nearly half a year ago. Apart from the one who played against him at that time, Zhan Lang had no impression of the other three.

Although Zhan Lang basically had no memory of the other party, he still nodded and shook hands with the other party.

After all, even if an unfamiliar relative comes to your house, you still have to nod and say hello.

"Although Heizo Takenaka is not a very good 9th dan player in Japan, he can only be said to be of a lower-middle level, but he is still the best in China."

"Just wait patiently, maybe you will gain something."

Zhong Min, who was sitting next to Zhan Lang, couldn't help but say, "It would be nice if he could give his own commentary on the battle."

The chess ideas of a ninth-dan chess player will definitely be of great help to people like me and broaden my horizons.

Unlike later, some ninth-dan masters didn’t dare to teach lower-level professionals because they found that what they came up with were not as good as those created by others using artificial intelligence. In conclusion, it’s better to shut up.

Ten minutes later, a man in his forties in a suit followed that person to the top of the classroom.

The man glanced at the people sitting below and nodded, then said something in Japanese, and the person next to him quickly translated it into Chinese.

"Hello everyone, I am Takenaka Heizo 9th Dan, and I am very happy to be here to teach you today."

Upon hearing this, there was a thunderous applause from the audience.

Hearing the applause and the fanatical eyes of the crowd, Takenaka Heizo nodded with satisfaction. After all, as an ordinary 9th dan, there was no way for him to get such a great honor in Japan.

"Takenaka Heizo said he welcomes everyone's arrival. Today he will explain various life and death problems to everyone. Life and death is one of the basics of Go..."

"It's not a self-commentary."

Zhong Min said with some disappointment when he heard this. After all, it was a rare opportunity to listen to a detailed analysis of a game between nine-dan players.

However, life and death questions are also very important in Go. With the current information circulation and publication rates, the question bank in China is definitely not comparable to that in Japan.

The atmosphere was lively as 9th Dan Heizo Takenaka began his lecture and interacted with the audience.

“I’ve never seen these life and death questions before.”

"The gap is too big."

Zhan Lang couldn't help but nodded. The current Go gap between China and Japan is all-round.

Whether it is the talent pool, economic gap, competition opportunities or even the resources available to chess players from the two countries when studying, there are huge differences.

Zhan Lang really could not have imagined that under such circumstances, three years later in another world, there would be a person who would represent China and defeat many Japanese chess players for three consecutive years.

Become an iron gate.

It's truly a miracle.

Do the impossible.

The more you understand the gap between the times, the more you will feel that such things are incredible.

"Okay, what do you think about the next question?"

When Zhan Lang came to his senses, the question on the stage had already switched to the next one. Looking at the layout on the chessboard, Zhan Lang was confused.

What kind of life and death question is this?

Isn’t this the actual Go game that is being played in combat? It is even still in the layout stage.

What can there be at this stage? Isn't it the same no matter where you play? Zhan Lang was puzzled when he looked at the chessboard above, and there was one thing he didn't understand.

“There is a clever move hidden here, everyone present please think about it carefully.

This move is very classic, and in my mind it ranks in the top five or even top three.”

After hearing this, Zhan Lang had more questions in his mind. What kind of brilliant move could he make in this situation? Is the gap between the Ninth Dan and us so big?

My level is still not good enough.

"Brother Lang, you haven't seen this before? This is a very classic question, from a game almost twenty years ago."

Zhong Min looked at Zhan Lang who looked a little strange and asked, "Didn't you learn this when you were studying?"

Zhan Lang shook his head when he heard this: "I don't understand it, but I am greatly shocked."

I really can't figure out what kind of clever move can be made in this situation?
"That's right. After all, that move is something that normal people wouldn't expect."

Hearing what the people next to him said, Zhan Lang nodded: "Maybe it's true that my level is not up to par, and there is still a gap between me and these top masters."

Zhan Lang still admits the objective gap between himself and the top players, although he can occasionally show off and discover other people's blind spots.

But in terms of strength, no matter whether he faced Fujii Hideaki 9th Dan or Fang Yuan last night, there were only two ways for him to die: a miserable death or an even more miserable death.

"My little friend, can you see this step?"

Seeing the other party's hand suddenly pointing in his direction, Zhan Lang looked around and pointed at himself uncertainly, but the other party nodded.

Oh shit, why is it just like high school classes, where I only pick on the points I don’t understand?

Zhan Lang thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure out what to do in this situation, so he could only tentatively say, "Post one?"

Hearing this, Takenaka Heizo shook his head with a regretful expression and said, "You are wrong. This move of yours can only be called a basic move, but not a brilliant move.

It seems that you haven't understood the changes in this situation. Please sit down."

Zhan Lang didn't care when he heard this. After all, there was a gap between his strength and others'. If others had any means to surpass him, he should humbly accept and learn from them.

Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind.

You can only show off when you are stronger than others. If you still show off when you are not as strong as others, you are just a provoke to the protagonist, and you are trying to gain experience for others.

Weakness is never the original sin, ignorance is.

But soon someone raised his hand and volunteered to give the answer.

"Erluto!"

"Hahaha, yes, this is the correct answer.

Did you come up with this idea yourself or have you seen it before? "

When the person who answered the question heard this, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said honestly: "I have seen this question before, so I knew the answer in advance, but I still think this trick is amazing."

"That's right. After this move, the black pieces will be unable to survive on both sides. It's a very clever move to break through the air!"

Listening to the heated conversation between the two people on and off the stage, Zhan Lang felt more and more that something was wrong.

Especially after listening to the explanation of Heizo Takenaka on the stage, Zhan Lang seemed to confirm his judgment.

There is something wrong with this move.

This looks like an impressive tesuji with great flavor and visual effects, but it is actually just an optical illusion.

If we talk about the essence, it is unreasonable.
